Dan Sheppard put in some excellent drives to lead in F2 a lap ahead of Karl Norris in second place.
Chris Metcalfe was the top F3 driver, Kayleigh Knight was second and John Stringer third.

Joshua Galbraith was quickest in the Mardave class, Wes Wray put in some good performances to take second place with Roy Matthews with different colour bodyshell to normal taking third.

Finals
Roy Matthews had a great drive to win the Mardave final – was it the bodyshell that made the difference or was it the work of the “Team Galbraith” pit crew in preparing the car?
Wes Wray took second place with Harvey Forster finishing third.

The GT12 C Final proved to be a very close race between Courtney Orme and Kayleigh Knight, very few errors from either driver the race was eventually won by Kayleigh by two seconds. John Stringer set the fastest lap time in the race and finished third. Great Race!!

Chelle Snowden was the winner in the B Final just two seconds ahead of Karl Norris, Mike Simpson was third a further three laps down.

Just the A Final left, could Steve Donald get the win to take the lead in F1?
Steve set the fastest lap and the answer was yes he did win but it was a very close contest with Ashley King, with Mark Deacon also on the same lap in third place being keen to get the race finished so he could pick up his winners trophy from the summer league at the presentation that followed.

Vice Chairman Chelle Snowden presented the Summer League trophies after the racing – well done to all the winners especially Benn Norris the winner of the Chairman’s cup for the most improved driver.
